> my thinking is just to push up the parnate as far as it will go...

I have been as high as 150mg. It definitely feels like a different drug in this high dosage range. It provided moderate improvement, but not for long. I added desipramine, amphetamine, bromocriptine, and T4 together with Parnate 120mg.

> there is articles on psychotropical.com from a doctor who uses parnate who seems to think it's teh best a/d by far as long as your not afraid of pushing the dose higher.

Interesting. I have always found Parnate to provide me with a more stable improvement than Nardil. It probably has much to do with the fact that I am bipolar.


> either that or adding namenda to fight poop out which supposedly (i don't have experience myself) it does.

This seems to be a notion that is becoming more popular. Memantine produced a nice "kick" during the first week. Thereafter, it made me feel worse and, I believe, PREVENTED any further improvement. In a way, perhaps memantine makes things "stick" better. I wonder how it would affect me had I waited to respond more fully first before adding it.

It's obvious that I really extend myself to produce some pretty silly ideas. It breeds hope for me, though, that there are alternatives to be found in uncertainty. I can't be certain that memantine wouldn't work in such away as to prevent poop-out.

Good thinking. Thanks.

Can you tell me more about your experience with agomelatine?
